Utformning och implementation av tidsrapporterings- och schemaläggningssystem för småföretag

Sammanfattning: The construction industry is facing increased digitalization. Companies in the construction industry are currently using analogous and digital solutions for the time reporting and scheduling. The report investigates these solutions by using a web application that examines how solutions ought to be implemented such that the user perceives them as effective and satisfying. To measure usability, the web application was tested on 16 high school students from a construction industry based high school programme. In the user tests the students were handed a set of problems to solve on the web application and were asked to solve them by themselves. The users’ efficiency in navigating the web application was measured with efficiency indicators. After testing, the users evaluated the web application using a SUS-test, carried out with a survey. The study found a low efficiency value in parts of the web application that did not follow the “three-click rule”, including poorly described link titles, and generally had a deep hiearachy structure. The SUS-test scored an 84 out of 100, which means the ERP-system gave a high impression of usability and satisfaction. To develop a time report- and scheduling system that is perceived as usable and satisfying to use, the report concludes that one should use a wide design hierarchy, use clearly described link titles, follow the “three-click rule”, and gather data of the intended user before the design is made.
